"Reflection" - Lea Salonga
Tonight just felt like a good night to stay home. Funny, the first month I couldn't even sit still. I had to do something, anything just to avoid it. But now as I approach the third month, I'm beginning to feel a little bit like myself: wanting to stay home and cozy up to a good ol' DVD that no "boy" would appreciate.
But...for the first time my lil' sis didn't want to watch the usual Disney Princesses. She said we've played them out, especially recently. I know, I know, but a girl can dream that this sh*t can exist in real life, can't they? Ok maybe not, but I wanted to be stuck in that dream! But nooooo, she was trying to get me to watch one of the Pixars, but I wasn't in the mood for them. So, we had to negotiate and finally settled on Mulan.
Mulan is technically one of the "princesses," but she's really not part of any royal family. She often got into trouble especially when she tried too hard to be something other than herself, but this was the only way for her to be heard. She didn't wait around to be rescued. She constantly stretched herself out on a limb and by doing so, became her own "hero" and in the end, she still got the man to go to her. This is my kind of fairytale and just what I needed to remember what I deserve.
Lyrics:
Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
